Quadratic Functions and Modeling · Algebraic Thinking

Modeling with Quadratics

Applying quadratic functions to solve problems involving projectile motion and area optimization.

Key Questions

  1. 1How do we interpret the vertex of a parabola in the context of maximum height?
  2. 2Why does the domain of a quadratic model often differ from the domain of the pure function?
  3. 3How can we determine the best fit quadratic model for a set of non-linear data?
